"Jesus said unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes?"

"But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation."

"He came unto his own, and his own received him not."

Hear the Word of God! Whenever the texts are read out, people have to agitate within their minds what is coming up for the day. It is said that only the king knows the secrets of his kingdom. So what he shuts none can open; what he opens no one can shut. Even if you pray, you cannot know what is going to be preached. Even if you are a visioner, you cannot see into this.

All of you have got the Bible but do you read those texts? It is today that I want to reveal them to you and the meaning of these portions. Listen attentively and pray in spirit. Fix your gaze steadfastly on the red garment. Since the Father does not want us to perish, He has set aside this Holy week so that we may change over, so that He can use us in manifesting his glory. I am sure that the revelation of today’s scriptures is going to save a great number of souls who would otherwise, have perished throughout the entire world. It will also remove the thought of the things of this world from the hearts of many and will make them think about the things of this kingdom. This revelation will also cause all those who came here to joke to reorder their thinking.

Many people, angels and men, will repent of their sins because of today’s gospel. All those who are proud and who regard themselves as good, righteous and the only exalted ones, this gospel will humble all of them.

Brethren what was being referred to in the three texts read? Of whom were they prophesying? Our Lord Jesus Christ asked them, “Have you not heard what is written in the Scripture, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.” To whom were the prophets referring when they spoke that prophecy mentioned by Our Lord Jesus Christ? Has this prophecy been fulfilled or not? The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.” Brethren I groan with pain and tears in my eyes for the whole of this generation.

It is said that heaven and earth shall pass away but the Word of God will never pass away until they are fulfilled. What was done to the Jews will also be done to the Gentiles. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST is the same yesterday, today and forever. Can you not see that Jesus is the stone which builders have rejected? You are looking for help from Him and you are praying that God should come and save you from tribulation and death, that there are too many sins and suffering; but Our Lord Jesus Christ is the stone which the world has rejected. Until this day, has the whole world not rejected Him? But you continue to shout Jesus, Jesus.

He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who was in existence before the foundation of the world was laid. He came down on Earth to save us but the world rejected him. This stone is no other person than him. No other person has become the cornerstone, he alone is the cornerstone. The church has rejected Him. Even the afflicted, the sick, and the poor have rejected Him. But we are looking for help. We want Him to come and change us, we want him to come and lead us, we want Him to come and guide us, we want Him to come and teach us about His kingdom. We want Him to rule, but we reject Him: we have rejected the ruler of the whole world. That alone accounts for the position you now find yourself in.

He is the mediator of the new covenant. He is the leader of the government from generation to generation. There is no other king in heaven and on Earth apart from him. He alone has to rule, but has the world not rejected him? He spoke from heaven to you but you wondered why he always sent his voice from above through the prophets; could he not come that you may see him? All the words you find from the book of Genesis down to the book of Revelation are spoken by Him. There is no other person apart from Him right from Genesis through Revelation. David called Him “My Lord,” Moses called Him “Jehovah.” He was given different names at all times.

In the time of Moses, the Israelites asked Him every time you continue telling us, “Thus says the Lord,” can He not come down so that we may also see Him? They said they were fed up with hearing “thus said the Lord” everyday. One day Moses told them to get prepared and follow him to see God. When they went to ascend the mountain, the heaven merged with the earth, there were thunder and lightening, thick clouds of darkness emerged and there was a terrible earthquake. They told Moses to go alone and come back to report to them because they could not bear the sight of God. After all these, did they obey or hear His voice? Did they observe the commandments which they were given?

No person believed Moses. The laws were given to them not to kill, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to bear false witness, not to have any other gods, but these were the very things they did to perfection. For this reason, twenty-three thousand Israelites died in one day for the sin of fornication. Christ told them, do not think that I will accuse you before God. Even Moses whom you claim to know, he has passed judgement on you. If you believed what Moses wrote, you would also believe me, because Moses bore testimony of me.(John 5:46) As long as you do not believe in Moses, how will you believe in me?

You will see that upon all the mighty works which God did through Moses, they did not believe in Him. It was not long after he went to the mountain to receive the laws, when the Israelites asked Aaron to make them a god who will go before them because they did not know what had happened to Moses. Think of that situation. Moses brought them out of Egypt to the place they were but as he went to collect the laws, they said they did not know what was wrong with his head; they called on Aaron to make them a god. Did they not reject Moses? Aaron was his brother and he went ahead and made a golden calf and they danced and rejoiced over it. They acclaimed that the golden calf was the god who was to go before them. By the time Moses came back, they were singing to another deity. Moses in anger threw down the tablets of commandments and they were broken.

Can you see the stone which the builders rejected? It was God Himself who sent Moses to them but they went and made for themselves a golden calf with eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear. They exchanged the living God for a lifeless object.

It was said that Elijah would come before the Messiah and they were waiting for Him, but when He arrived they sought to kill Him until he had to ask God on three occasions to take away his life. There is nothing they did not do to Elijah. They destroyed all the altars of Go d and killed all His prophets. The world has done these things to all the prophets of God right from Abel until today. The world does not want to hear of any person who speaks of GOD. The have all rejected GOD.

When you read Romans 11:1-4 you will see how Elijah prayed that they had killed all of God’s prophets and he alone was left and they were seeking his life. That will prove what the world is to you. Throughout the whole world, right from the time of Adam, no one wants Jehovah God and his Christ. Upon all that, they feign righteousness. The moment they hear anything pertaining to God, a fight will start. But he is the stone which the builders have rejected. No person believed in Elijah and so God took him up finally before their eyes. They repented of their sins and started weeping, “O! When is he coming back again? We should not have done that to him,” they lamented. But it was too late. Since they told God that they are looking for Elijah, God told them that he would send him again.

In Malachi 4:5 “5: And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.” It is prophesied that Elijah will come before the Messiah arrived and they were very eager for this to happen. They took the portrait of Elijah and continued to look up to the sky. Until this day the whole of Israel is still waiting for Elijah to come again. If you go to tell them that the Messiah did come, they will tell you to sit down because you do not know what you are saying. They will ask you if you do not know that Elijah will precede the Messiah. If Elijah has not come, how can you talk about the coming of the Messiah? If you talk of Christ to them, they will stone you to death.

Did Elijah not come? Who was John the Baptist? John the Baptist was Elijah, but who believed in him?(Matthew 17:10-13). “10: And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12: But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13: Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.” They expected Elijah from the sky as they held his portrait in their hands, but since they could not see the facial resemblance between John the Baptist and Elijah, they did not believe in him. What is it that they did not do unto John? John the Baptist taught them everything about purification. He turned their hearts from their evil ways into believing in God but what happened? Did Herodias not demand for the head of John the Baptist? Was it not him who sent soldiers to go and cut the head of John the Baptist in prison? Is it not the very you who say you are looking for salvation? That was the Elijah they said would come and save them but did they know him? Let the first lesson be read.

FIRST BIBLE LESSON: MATTHEW 21:42
"Jesus said unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes?"

Have you heard that? The messiah the whole world has been waiting for, that when he came, he would lead to the wisdom of truth, did he not come? He is the King of Kings; before creation he was King. His glory did not come from man. He was born king. When man was created, he was there. He is the ruler of heaven and earth. (Matthew 2:2) Herod was startled by the mention of “another” king of the Jews. On the same night he arranged and carried out the murder of all infants below the age of two. Is that not the stone which the builders rejected? Is that not the Christ they were praying should come quickly?

Do not forget that God wanted to destroy the whole world because He was fed up with it. No angel intervened, no man intervened, but Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Do not destroy it, Father, I will go and save them.” That is the stone the builders rejected; we have the one came to save us. He is the King of Kings and Lord OF Lords; the ruler of heaven and Earth. He came to save man from destruction and place him in the position of glory, but have we not rejected him ? Did we not kill him? Do we not hate him? Have we not spat on him? Have we not called Him Beelzebub and ghost?

There is no church denomination or individual or government or nation which wants Him. Put it in your diary because today belongs to Him.

Look at the finger which has fed us, you not only bite it but you chew it. Let all the world, including the angels and men ponder over this thing. What is going to happen to man who persists in making the same error every time? What evil did our Lord do to you? He raised the dead, he made the lame to walk, he made the blind to see, he cleansed the lepers. What evil thing has he done that you reject him? He alone loves us. He is our leader, he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who has life, and in whose hands are the keys of death. He rules the hades. He is judge and ruler. But has the world not rejected him?

Think this over: that man was lying by the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years and he had no one who could put him inside the water. Jesus came and asked him if he was desirous to be made whole, and he answered and said that when the angel troubled the water, he had no one to carry him into the pool. The sick who had relations were taken down there but he had no person to help him. Christ asked him if he was willing to be made whole, and he asked how that could happen. Christ commanded him to, “Rise, take up thy bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made whole. Who else could do that work? Since then, who else has done that kind of work? What evil thing did Christ do by telling the man to rise up and walk, even when he did not charge him a kobo? He did not offer any sacrifices but he was made whole. What evil did he commit? Tell me, all of you inhabitants of the world, what sin did Jesus commit against you?

He went on with His disciples and found someone who was blind from his birth and His disciples asked Him: “Is it this man who sinned or his parents that he should be born blind?” Christ told them that “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born so that the glory of God might be made manifest in him.” And he spat on the ground and mixed the clay with His spittle and anointed the eye of the blind man with the clay and said unto him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam.” The blind man went and washed and received his sight. What sin did Christ commit in this situation? Was He responsible for the work? The people asked the blind man how he came to see; and he told them that a man named Jesus made him see; there was uproar. But they did not do anything to help him when he was blind. Right now they were furious because He had opened the eyes of a blind man on the Sabbath day.

They again called the man that was born blind, and asked him how He opened his eyes. He answered and said to them: “I have told you already and ye did not hear; why do you want to hear it again? Will you also be His disciples? Then they reviled him and said, thou art His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.” (John 9:29)

Let our second lesson be read. I know the T.V. will divide this gospel into sections because when they get to topics which convict them hard, there has to be electrical power failure and subsequent break in transmission of the broadcast. But if it is a satanic program, they will show it till the end.

Second Bible Lesson: Luke 17: 25
"But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation."

Have you not seen the example shown, the twelve ministries, symbolic of the twelve disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ also complying to the twelve powers of man. Do you rather think it is that easy to set up a government? And that is why it has been a failure for all the church denominations, for the government and every other person because no person has been able to decipher what is his gift. You, who claim that God is in your church denomination, what is your gift? That is the source of problems for the people of the world. The twelve Apostles had their various gifts. There was no encroachment on any other person's gift, each one was given his own gift. That was why there was enlightenment and growth and development in the work of God.

Whom was this written about? To whom does this prophecy refer? It is said that first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation; this generation must reject him. Did they not say that it was Moses they knew? But as for that man he was from the devil and no person should listen to him. The whole world is shouting Jesus, Jesus, but did they not reject Him? Did your fathers and mothers not reject Him? Today who can show me one disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Who among you keeps His commandments? Bring that person before me.

When Lazarus was sick, his sisters went and told Christ that the friend whom he loved was sick. And he answered them and said: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of man might be glorified.” And he went about his own business. After about four days, He said to His disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is asleep; let us go that I may awake him out of sleep.” Then said the disciples, Lord if he sleeps, he shall wake up. He then told them plainly that Lazarus had died (John 11:4); nevertheless let us go and raise him. Peter was excited because that was the sort of thing he was waiting to see. And they asked Him: “Master the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and do you want to go there again?(John 11:7-8) Jesus never went out openly to declare He was the Christ. He went in the company of His disciples, and they all wore the same garments so that He may not be identified. When He healed any sick person, He would warn him not to tell anyone. That is the rejected stone. He is the almighty GOD, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS who came to save you thieves and sinners but you rejected him. Put yourselves into fervent prayers.

I do not want to go far into that but you know what happened when He raised Lazarus from death. The whole city was in an uproar. Then gathered the Chief Priest and the Pharisees and said: “If we let this continue like this, all men would believe in him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. Caiaphas stood up as the high priest and said: Ye know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.” Because he raised Lazarus and healed the sick, the blind, the lame and the deaf, because he cleansed lepers, fed the poor and did every good thing, they said that He must die.

Can you see how the world thanked God for coming to save them? He would first suffer many things and be rejected of this generation and that was exactly the situation with Him. It was not the government that killed OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. It was not the juju priests who claimed to know the real GOD better than all others. It was not the Romans who killed him; that was why Pilate asked him: “Am I a Jew? Was it not your own people who brought you here? What have You done?” To day the same thing is happening: the churches who claim to know GOD better are those who are conspiring and asking what they are to do with this man because he is still performing wonders.

The government does not make trouble, they seek peace. Right from time immemorial the people who wage war against GOD are those who profess to know him. And so it was with OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Pilate tried as much as possible to release him but the Jews insisted on having him killed. Pilate set up over his head his accusation written: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then said the chief priest of the Jews to Pilate, write not the KING OF THE JEWS, but that he said I am king of the Jews. Pilate answered and said, “What I have written, I have written.”

Brethren, have you assessed the situation properly. That is why he said, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord but you do not the things I command you?” He knew that there was not one single person who believed in Him. The work of God is not subject to any person’s decision. It is either you shoot the gun and split the barrel rather than lose the prey. There was not one person who believed in Our Lord Jesus Christ. If there is such a person, mention him. If you want to mention Peter, I will remind you that he was the first person to deny Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let our Golden Text be read so that when you go back home, you will think seriously about yourself. I do not say go beyond that. The gospel of today is like a pregnant woman, the time for delivery is fast approaching. I am not butchering; I am only incising with the knife.

GOLDEN TEXT: JOHN 1: 11
" He came unto his own, and his own received him not."

To whom does this refer? Who is that person who goes to his own but his own received him not? Do you not argue that God is not man? But God said, “Let us make man in our own image after our likeness.” The “us” refers to the Father, Son And the Holy Spirit. But now you argue that God is not man. Is he an animal or a rock? Is he an angel? Answer me, you wise men. He came in his own likeness. His likeness is man. He comes as a man and on every 25th day of December everybody eats and rejoices that the virgin Mary has given birth to a baby boy. But no person believes in him.

And so the above scripture refers to Our Lord Jesus Christ, He came in the manger as a man. But did you receive Him? Who received Him? If he did not fill the boat of Peter with fishes, Peter would not have followed Him. When He told His disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and Chief Priest and Scribes, and be killed and raised again on the third day, Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him: This shall not be unto thee. Peter said this because he had read that Christ would not die, forever he will not die and so if Jesus was going to face death now it would mean that he, Peter, had made a mistake in following Him. Can you say that he knew or understood Our Lord Jesus Christ?

That is one. Another thing is that all that Jesus spoke to them in public when they were alone, with Him, they would ask Him to explain to them. At another time, Peter said: We have left everything and followed you, what shall be our gain? Does that question show that Peter believed in Him? I can continue to cite instances to you to convince you that no person believed in Him; but He can use anything to manifest His own glory. They were following him because he willed it so; it was not out of their knowledge of him that they followed him.

Take the case of John the Baptist who revealed him to the whole of Israel as The Christ; did he not deny Christ? Did he know Him? When he was put in prison by Herod, he remembered that the scriptures had said that when Christ came He would deliver the captives and set at liberty those that are bruised and so John consoled himself that Christ would come and remove him from prison immediately. But as he waited no person came; and so he sent two of his disciples unto Christ to find out if He was the expected one or they were to wait for another. Did John believe in Him? Do not joke with the Word of God.

When you hear that a great multitude followed Jesus it was because of the bread and fish He used to feed them with. There was no person who followed Him with the conviction that He was God, or the Christ. Unless he injects his spirit into you so that can perceive this truth, you cannot know him. He can enter into you in a moment and your eyes will become clear and he will immediately close it up. He changes into another form and you will fall back into your doubt. GOD is terribly wonderful.

Earthly things are used to illustrate heavenly things. If he did not make bread for the people to eat who would have listened to Him? His creature will follow Him.

You have heard what He said: No man knows the father, except the son, and no man knows the son, except the Father and to whom he would reveal him. That is where the whole thing hangs. JESUS CHRIST is here with the Father. They are eating and working with you but can you see them? You cannot see them, you do what you must do, as you have always done. Because it is said: He came unto his own but his own received him not. Did His brothers receive Him? Did they not reject him? Jehovah GOD and his CHRIST is the rejected stone. But is he not the ruler of Heaven and Earth? He controls hell and hades; he controls everthing.

He is the son of man because of the blood. The blood is man. He is the son of GOD because of the water; and water is GOD. So he is GOD because he is spirit. That was him but did you know him? Did you receive him? Tell me if you knew that was GOD who came to save you? That is what identifies him as GOD. On the cross He said: “Father into they hands I commend my spirit.” It means that the spirit is the father, and if you have that spirit you will resurrect. When the soldiers pierced his side, there came out water and blood from him, and that water is the CHRIST, the son of GOD. The blood is man, and so he was the son of man, son of GOD and GOD himself.

That was the reason John was told to baptize with water. The water is CHRIST. And Christ himself says that except you are born of water and spirit, You cannot see the kingdom of GOD. That is why it is said that as many as have been buried with him in spirit in baptism have put on CHRIST. (Gal.3:27). You have been reading the Bible but have you ever had this revelation given unto you now ? After baptism he bestows the HOLY SPIRIT on you and you then have the Father, the Son AND the HOLY SPIRIT. Everything is consummated. He is the SON of MAN, the SON of GOD and he is here right now but can you see him? Do you believe in him?

In the Book of Revelation 12:5 it is written that a woman brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. When hunting a strong or large animal one needs an exceptionally matching powerful bullet. Man is not a single creature and so He has to rule all nations with a rod of iron. You wonder why I always laugh when I say these things, but why should I not laugh? I have to laugh. On that fateful day, He told you His disciples that they would all deny Him and forsake Him. But Peter said that even if all forsook Him, “I will never forsake you.” But when the time came he was the first person to deny Him. This will show you that this election is extended to us free of charge. It is not because of your gooodness or your righteousness; it is not because of your faith or your desire. But he is love, he is faith, he is truth, and everything. He called us out of grace and you do not know how he called you. He has chosen to give this kingdom to those he loves.

What man loves, God does not love; and what God loves man does not love. It is not the person who commends himself that is approved but it is the person who GOD commends that is approved. The world does not receive Christ neither do they know Him; they disgrace Him and despise Him; But GOD has given him a name which is above every other name, as the ruler of heaven and earth. And the very person the world has disclaimed is appointed by GOD to be the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS who is to judge every creature in heaven and on Earth. Since GOD has declared him as his beloved son, you can weep if you want to weep. If you like you can rejoice. You claim that you do not know him but the fact remains that he is the ruler in heaven and on Earth.

When Christ was killed, did Peter not go back to his fishing? Our Lord Jesus Christ said that He would resurrect on the third day; but since they did not have the Spirit of God they did not hear Him. When you do not have the Spirit of God, everything here is like cinema. After you have heard and seen, everything then passes away, and you cannot remember them again. He says I have come in my father’s name and you do not receive me but when another shall come in his own name you will receive him and proclaim him as a wonderful man. Can you not see the coming of another person and how you have rejoiced in Him? Do you think that at this time He will again go about calling people to follow Him? The time He came and called people to follow Him who obeyed? This time he is not asking you to come, He is using a rod of iron to rule. He does not tell you that he is JESUS or GOD, that is child’s play. The rod of iron signifies his glory. This time he is coming as a king and you know that a king does not move around because his workers are there. You argue that when he came, he went from housed to house praying for people and washin their feet, but that is not what he is coming again to perform. His children are there to do these things. It is an insult for him to do that kind of work again.

You say there was power in those days, in Jerusalem and in Jericho, He went about doing mighty works; and that was child's play. Right now he is in America, in India, and everywhere. He is inside you, in the air, in the water, in the sky, and everywhere man has set his feet. What do you think of such a person. What do you think of such a ruler? It is the same person you are denying. You claim that he is dead and that he cannot rule over you. `But it is too late because he has come to rule heaven and Earth. All angels, Blacks and whites and colored people are all under his rulership. Whether you know him or not is irrelevant because his reign is forever and ever.

He has not come to cleanse the lepers and raise the dead but he has a long leg. He passess through a thief and raises the dead and you will rush and proclaim the thief as the true GOD; and so you fail. He can use a murderer to raise the dead and divide the sun into two and you will be astonished, it is the same one. But you will rush to see wonders, you will accept the murderer as the real Jesus. He passes on and you cannot see Him and so you fail by calling the murderer Jesus. When you want to identify him by power and miracles you fail. When you begin to commend a person being very powerful, do you kknow the source of that power ?

He has come to take dominion and rulership. All angel have to serve him. Brethren, can you see the stone which the builders rejected? The church denomination says they are waiting for Him but none keeps His injunction of love ye one another which He left us. The Church leader will tell you that he founded the church and that he raised the dead and he is even greater than Jesus. Such works are elementary. This time he come to change man so that we can live in peace and love and joy with one another. Right now raising the dead is a carnal job. If you press on looking for this type of sign you perish. He says He will wipe off all tears from your eyes; there will be no more death, nor sorrows, nor mourning again. There will be no sickness nor pain again. When there are no more sicknesses what are you going to cure? That is what he has come to do, but instead of you waiting for Him to do His work you run to native doctors to have your problems solved. Do you think God does not see you? You have failed. He is truth, he is peace, he is patience, mercy, humility, righteousness, self-control, glory, joy, and all good virtues. It does not involve only raising the dead and going about from house to house. Go to any part of the world if there is anywhere you can find these virtues apart from in Him.

Healing, miracles, are the old style and they are still operating on their own scale. It is the same old thing which is regarded as new when they arrive in Africa. And so all the signs and wonders are meant to deceive the unbelievers. I do not want to say more than this. I want everybody to get back home and ponder over this statement. It is mental arithmetic and you can either have the answer right or wrong. The fact remains that God has never repeated his own thing. If somebody comes to tell you that he is Christ, leave him alone, and pass on. Christ is not coming to walk from place to place. He is coming as the king of kings and Lord of lords. Where does he have to move to? He is everywhere and it is eithere you see himu or you do not see him. Any king who carries his own chair is not a king. A king has his chair and throne and everything prepared for him.

Brethren I do not intend to take you further than this. A stroke of the cane is sufficient unto the wise. He who has ears let him hear. May the Lord bless His Holy words, Amen. THANK YOU HOLY FATHER.
